I doubt this was shown on TV, but it was really apparent that Carroll was a little bit upset with Sherman's celebrating today. After their fumble recovery (I believe that Sherman recovered it) Sherman was running off the field jiving with the ball and tossed it high in the air. This was after his interception where he was penalized for excessive celebration. Anyways the ball hit the ground and bounced right to Pete, who promptly picked the ball up and fired the ball directly into Sherman's helmet (actually hit him in the head pretty hard with the ball). He then put hsi hands up as if saying "seriously, you didn't learn a lesson earlier in the game?"

Maybe Pete was just goofing around with him but I didn't get that impression. I think all the stupid penalites, and there were a lot of them again today, is starting to wear on Pete.

That celebration penalty is a terrible penalty in a close game. At the time of it.. it was 31-0 and there was NO way Arizona was getting back into the game.

No problem with it in that case.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

Read Pete's book (or even better, listen to him read it to you on CD). He is all about ZERO negative vibes. The same reason the established football media write him off as a left coast goofball is why his players love competing for him and for each other. Pete brings no anger or negative energy into anything he does. Throwing a football out of frustration will never happen with Pete Carroll. I guarantee you right now. Never.

Sherm got Kam to do the dance with him. Sherm was the instigator on that one completely. But also it was half the distance to the goal so it was not that bad in that situation. I think (total speculation) Sherm is a little ticked at the refs and the system, and this was a little screw you too pal.
